You know you're "addicted" to tea when ....

When your friends (one who hasn’t even known me that long) know you are so crazy about tea that when they are on a trip to Holland they see a miniature tea set and immediately think of you and get it for you haha. It is now on display with my Yixing and gongfu pots and my boyfriend’s elephant teapot, I should put a pic up sometime it’s soo adorable!

Oh and when you have almost a bi-weekly order of tea that you have to inform your roommates about for if you aren’t home to get it and they exasperatedly say “haha, more tea?!” and you try to explain to them about the different kinds and they look at you like you’re nuts for getting a bunch of tea that you haven’t even tasted before.

My orders are still on weekly basis.. I’m so new I have to stock up.. I actually have to force myself to make only one order per week otherwise there would be a package arriving at my doorstep every day.. lol

I hear you. One of my friends today wanted to see my tea cupboards so i opened them up…she sorta gasps and asks “how are you ever going to drink all this?”
…and I really didn’t have an answer for that :(

when, in order to protect it (and keep it accessible in the meantime), you shove your entire 225+ tea collection into random boxes/bags/corners of dresser drawers while you’re forced out of your bedroom (and thus unable to get to your tea wall/bookcase) for at least a week while rennovations are under way.

when you’re pretty sure it might kill you to have to live out of said random tea storage vessels until you’re able to return to your room to put it all back into the beautiful order you had it in before all hell broke loose.

For a while now, when I go to sleep at night I think about what tea I’m going to drink when I get up, but I think the past few nights I have been dreaming of tea all night long. That has to be a step up in the addiction, right?
